What is the Employment Tribunal?
Employment Tribunals hear claims about matters to do with employment. Cases are usually heard by a Judge sitting alone or a panel of three people depending on the type of claim. The panel of three would be made up of a legally employed employment judge, and two non-legal members who are people who have experience dealing with employment problems. An Employment Tribunal hearing is less formal than a court hearing but you will have to give evidence under oath or affirmation.
In advance of a Tribunal, you will need to prepare a ‘bundle’ of papers and evidence to support your case. At the Tribunal hearing, you will need to make a statement of your case, calling witnesses as appropriate, and you and any witnesses may be cross-examined by your employer or their representation and the Tribunal panel.
